    Honestly, a lot of old-timers that lived during the Depression years and even long after, learned ways of making meat go further. Beans were an excellent source of protein and many used it as meat substitute because it was really cheap to grow or buy beans. Rice pretty much the same.
    Any Coonass will tell you that Cajun Red beans and Rice was the original behind the 'slap yo mama' saying ..

    Friday seems to be when I go mentally traveling through time with music:




    Been on a 90s kick since hearing about Norm MacDonald passing.

    Fun fact, if this song were made today, it would be titled 2004. Have a nice day!

    The 90’s alternative music was some of the best music in human history. It was the calm before the absolute shit show storm music has turned into (mainstream) wise.

    I see you've eaten the stuff they call chili in Cincinnati, Ohio. I did much of my training during my working years in Cincinnati, so I have, too, much to my regret.

    When I first ate that stuff on the recommendation of the locals, I was shocked. As far as I can tell, the recipe is:
    • Make some bad chili that's far too thin (like soup), with over-ground meat and too much liquid, and also lacking any heat in the seasoning.
    • Make this bad chili worse by throwing in some dark chocolate, cinnamon, and a handful of whatever other inappropriate spices are left over in your spice rack.
    • Ladle it over overcooked pasta.
    • Add some beans or chopped onion over that. If you want. It doesn't really matter since the whole dish is, by this time, so ruined it cannot be rehabilitated.
    • Pile cheap cheddar cheese on top, and
    • Serve with oyster crackers.
    Finally, you must possess the enough shameless audacity to call it "chili".

    If they didn't call it "chili" but called it something else (I nominate "stupidly seasoned sauce with some nearly-unidentifiable protein source thrown in".) then maybe I could give them a pass. That stuff (minus the cinnamon and chocolate) might be OK on a hot dog. But...

    Calling this bowl of sludge "Cincinnati chile" is an abomination to any connoisseur of actual chili, an obscene affront to the gods of gastronomy. Gourmands of every stripe would sooner shoot themselves than consume a plate of it. Taco Bell, at its worst, cannot wreck the lower digestive tract more thoroughly than this shameful horror, this abuse of the senses, this transgression against the foundational principles of palatability.

    Just the memory of that stuff turns my stomach.

    Honestly, I have never tried it. Hearing about it, and knowing how it's done, I felt better off not even giving it even the benefit of the doubt. From your description, it seems my suspicions were well founded!

    They might call it chili, but not in my book it ain't.

    Now my chili recipe? pretty traditional and authentic. I have been perfecting mine for more than thirty years now. It takes at lest four to six hours of prepping and cooking for mine. I rank making chili right up there with smoking briskets, a labor of love.

    Well, got out of the hospital yesterday. Home now. No infection in my blood afterall. They are now saying there were three different samples of my blood that were contaminated by a bacteria commonly found on one's skin. So much for the alcohol wipes with which they prep your skin before they stick you to draw blood, evidently they don't do squat.

    Maybe they just used wet wipes instead.

    I could smell the alcohol each time, strong odor. One nurse; however, did use a wadded up piece of napkin to stop the bleeding after she stuck me to draw blood because she did not have a piece of gauze available. I was not too happy about that. It's all wear a mask so you don't spread Covid and wash your hands and put on a band-aide and take your medicine when they talk to the patient; then they do stupid shit like that with a paper napkin or wear their masks pulled down so their noses are not covered or forget to bring your meds on time. That was all okay by me though, most of my nurses were quite cute.

    Cute nurses are always a plus. I won’t forget the blonde nurse in the pre-op/recovery area prior to my neck surgery. She had very well fitting scrubs on and a body to justify it. My wife wan’t too thrilled.
